Customer comments: "We have used the Unisoft software since 1993 and it works great! ProntoTEST-FIXTURE is a very good tool.
Just a note to say I am using the free
Unisoft PC Board VIEWER software
extensively for a task I am
working on. I think the
difficulty of an alternate method would greatly
increase the time to completion.
In addition to our licensed copies of the Unisoft software we have over
50 users of the Unisoft free VIEWER software at this Vermont plant.
Unisoft has come to bat quickly anytime we have needed support."
"Thanks you for your time and
working with me. The software is very valuable. Its been great." "Our Unisoft
configuration has been instrumental in reducing engineering development costs.
Maintaining an aggressive product development schedule would be impossible
without the Unisoft
tools." |

Unisoft ProntoTEST-FIXTURE software helps reduce time and errors in developing your test programs and test fixture (Bed of Nails). ProntoTEST-FIXTURE is a cost effective solution for making your job easier and saving your company money. Circuit Master ProntoTEST-FIXTURE receives its input by importing virtually any CAD and Bill Of Materials (BOM). Import files from Gerber, Mentor Graphics, PADS, Intergraph, OrCAD, Protel, Accel PCAD, Accel Tango, Allegro, Cadence, Cadnetixs, Cadstar, Computervision, Edif, Verybest, Visula, etc. ProntoTEST-FIXTURE also imports standards such as IPCD356, GENCAD, Fabmaster, etc.
Test Documentation Process Sheets
The
Unisoft software allows you to quickly create matching test documentation
process sheets for each step in the test process. Part numbers can be
automatically assigned to the test steps you wish (for example: Step 1
"Connector - Place Test Probes here for trace opens testing!" , Step 2 "
Switch - Make sure all switches are in OPEN position prior to In-Circuit ATE
testing!", etc.). The part numbers are then automatically uniquely colored. If
needed, overlay annotation notes can be added to each step. Next for each step
matching test assembly drawings and lists are created. These drawings can
either be printed or save to a file (PDF Adobe, etc.) or displayed on the
screen.

First Article Inspection
Generally First Article Inspection is done on the first PC Boards assembled. When the assembly inspection is satisfactory at that point the PC Board can be built reliably in quantity.
The Unisoft software allows you to BLINK all the components in
each part number. The
person doing the first article inspection would check that
each of those components are correctly
installed. If all where correct then they would click the
DRAW button to color those components to indicate they are correct.
A check mark is placed
next to the part number indicating it has been
completed. The inspector would continue this process for each part number until
all part numbers are colored at which point that would indicate the PC Board was
assembled correctly. At that point the PC Board can be built in quantity.

Quotation and cost estimation
reports
Import your PC Board
into the Unisoft software and you instantly receive a report containing
component counts for top and bottom of the PC Board broken down by SMT, Fine
pitch, BGA’s, Thru-hole, etc. This is a great time saver for Contract and OEM
manufacturer.

Circuit Master TEST generates the necessary circuit description files for most popular in-circuit and flying probe ATE (Automatic Test Equipment). TEST creates in minutes such popular file formats as Teradyne .IPL (.DAT), GenRad .CKT, Agilent/Hewlett Packard board forms and many others.
Circuit Master FIXTURE generates test fixture drill plans, wire plans, and optimized test probe placements. Using the design CAD files, FIXTURE performs testability analysis before the first board is built to detect and correct problems such as untestable nets do to no test probe access. FIXTURE then creates all the necessary files the fixture fabrication house needs the build your fixture quickly and accurately.

Create annotation overlays for Test setup notes, etc.

Map Test Probe Numbers

Find shorts between traces, component information and many other useful features.
FEATURES:
- Generates test fixture drill plans, wire plans, etc. Creates all the necessary files the fixture fabrication house needs the build your fixture quickly, accurately and at reduced cost (savings of over $1000 per fixture have been reported).
- Export a standardized net list and bill of material (BOM). Use to create ATE circuit description files to program a variety of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE).
- Avoid expensive & complex fixturing.
- Reduce fixture and program turnaround time.

By the way... I've been using the tool for DFT
reviews lately and using it heavily and its working well. Also, I had a need
to locate additional probe locations (vias) and the tool worked prefect
because it labels vias where the CAD tool does not label vias. An unlabeled
probe location(via) is an unusable location.
Anyway, I'm relying on the Factory 2000 tool for test DFT and test probe
manipulation and it is working well.

The online schematic feature in ProntoVIEW-MARKUP is super. We no longer need to have
the schematic sheets on our desks. This is truly a great feature.
Jay Aglei - SSI Inc.
I had an, error free, board and
board_xy file within five minutes for our HP ATE... Thanks for the
excellent support really appreciated! This tool has definitely made a
difference for us.
Donald L Crawford
Turnkey Test, California
Excellent tool, we can design our
fixtures and programs extremely fast and accurately.
Stan Magel - Teleco
We can identify test fixturing
problem very quickly and the visual board display is helpful for the program
debug process.
Luke Monoplie - TPG
We have used the Unisoft software since 1993 and it works great! ProntoTEST-FIXTURE is a very good tool.

John Harrington - BF Goodrich Aerospace
Just to let you know the ProntoTEST-FIXTURE software found two DFT (Design
For Test) problems before the first artwork spin - great! The CAD guys corrected
them. After that I ran the board and board XY for the HP and it was perfect.
Surprising when something works start to finish the first time through!

Price and performance, there is
nothing like UniSOFT ... I have reviewed others Test software but they just
didn't match up to the UniSOFT software...
C. Drew - Nexus
Just yesterday I installed the
ProntoTEST-FIXTURE software and it is an excellent Tool to develop Test
Fixtures.
R. Gomez - Delphi Automotive
The ProntoTEST-FIXTURE software is a splendid product.

Ono - Takaya Corp. - Japan
Being able to highlight a single or multiple traces and then to follow a signal or to find the potential location of shorted traces is a tremendous feature of the
ProntoVIEW-MARKUP software, we use it every day.
